After waiting in the yard for a while, Lu Beichen and the others still didn't come back. Ye Xing stood up and walked to the yard to pull Lu Guoqing over.

"On National Day, you and my sister-in-law stay at home, while mom goes to see your dad and the others, okay?"

"Okay, my sister-in-law is here, Lu Xiaoliang and Lu Xiaofeng don't dare to bully us."

Ye Xing frowned slightly when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to wave to Lu Xiaoliang.

"Xiao Liang, come here"

Lu Xiaoliang stood there and hesitated for a while before walking over.

"Second aunt, I didn't bully Guo Qing and Hui Lin, it was Lu Xiaofeng who bullied them."

Ye Xing took out two pieces of candy from his pocket and handed them to him.

"Then can you help Second Aunt protect Guo Qing and Hui Lin?"

When Lu Xiaoliang saw the candy, he happily grabbed it and nodded vigorously.

"Second aunt, don't worry, I won't let Lu Xiaofeng bully Guo Qing. If he dares to bully Guo Qing, I will beat him up together with Guo Qing."

Ye Xing smiled.

"What if your sister bullies National Day?"

Lu Xiaoliang was stunned.

"My sister can only cry, how can she bully others?"

Ye Xing glanced at Lu Huiru who was playing with Lu Xiuhe. This girl was young but more scheming than her mother.

"Xiao Liang, the second aunt will leave the National Day and Hui Lin to you. If anyone messes with them, you will beat them. The second aunt will come back soon to steam egg custard for you."

"Really? Then I can definitely protect them."

Compared with Lu Xiaofeng and Lu Huiru, Lu Xiaoliang is not that bad, he is tall, has brute force, and has a single mind.

Ye Xing gave Xiuhe a few more instructions and walked quickly to his home.

When she walked into the yard, she heard a loud noise in the house. She listened carefully and found that they were bargaining. It seemed that the deal was settled and the disagreement was over the bride price.

She was thinking about not going in when she heard Russell Lan's voice coming from inside the room.

"Uncle Wang, who can't get three big things when they get married? Bicycles are a must. Look at our village, there are a lot of people riding bicycles. If my Xiuxiang gets married without a bicycle, she will definitely be laughed at.

of."

The people from the Wang family spoke mockingly.

"If she was really afraid of being laughed at, she wouldn't have tricked us boys into playing in the cornfield before we even got engaged."

Zhang Guiying was so angry that she slapped the table and shouted, "What a sin! How shameful!"

Russell Lan said.

"This is a loss for our girls anyway. We don't need much of the bride price anymore. If you say we don't have the three big items, then we don't want watches, but bicycles and sewing machines. Is this still enough for you?"

Do you still want to marry a wife for nothing?"

The Wang family snorted coldly.

"Do you think we want this wife? If not..."

There was a lot of commotion in the room, but Russell Lan was eloquent, thick-skinned, and tolerant at the moment. No matter how unpleasant the Wang family said, she didn't care, she just insisted on asking for a bicycle and a sewing machine.

Ye Xing didn't hear Lu Beichen speak, so he was about to go in. Then he opened the door and saw Lu Beichen walking out of the room.

"Why did you come out?"

Lu Beichen pulled Ye Xing out of the house directly. The two stood in the yard, and Ye Xing asked.

"Has it been discussed?"

Lu Beichen took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, and put the cigarette box back.

"The Wang family has agreed to the engagement. We don't need to worry about the rest. Let mother and others discuss it."

Ye Xing tilted his head and looked at him.

"You can't even get a word in?"

Lu Beichen's lips moved slightly and he looked at Ye Xing helplessly.

"What do you think? If there are advantages to be taken advantage of, of course my sister-in-law will be proactive."

"I see, your eldest sister-in-law may not be able to take advantage of her. She wants a bicycle and a sewing machine, right? But your eldest sister is not the one who suffers. When two similar people meet together, there will be some trouble.

"

Lu Beichen was smoking a cigarette and frowned when he saw that Ye Xing's lips were dry and peeling.

"Thank you for your hard work today. Have all those relatives left?"

Ye Xing chuckled.

"Do you think they will leave? I don't know if they want to see a joke or if they are really concerned about this mess at home. Who cares, we are going back to the county tomorrow anyway. They can just discuss whatever we want."

Lu Beichen nodded and held the cigarette a little further away from Ye Xing.

"Well, we will go back to the county tomorrow. You don't have to worry about anything at home. Let them go back and clean up."

Ye Xing smiled and nodded. Her man felt sorry for her, and she was very pleased.

The two of them squatted in the yard for more than half an hour before the noise finally stopped in the back room and they heard Zhang Guiying calling Lu Beichen.

Seeing Ye Xing follow him in, Russell Lan suddenly became wary.

"Second daughter-in-law, Xiuxiang didn't ask for much in total. Who do you think would marry a girl without three important gifts? Alas..."

Ye Xing was too lazy to talk to her. She was not interested in Lu Xiuxiang's betrothal gift at all. She just wanted to settle it quickly so that they could go back to the county town and continue to set up a stall to make money.

Zhang Guiying told Lu Beichen the result of the discussion, which required thirty feet of blue and blue flower baize, ten feet of fine cloth, five pounds of wool, a pair of leather shoes, a sewing machine, a bicycle, and a bride price of fifty yuan.

Lu Beichen didn't have any objections. Regarding his eldest sister's marriage, he didn't show much concern from the beginning. Only when the Wang family said they would not marry his sister, he stood up and spoke. How would they discuss the engagement and what kind of gift they would want?

He didn't even care.

Ye Xing felt that the reason why the Wang family finally agreed to the engagement was probably because Lu Beichen said that he would send his son to the police station. The crime of gangsterism was not light, and if he was really convicted, the child would be ruined.

After a group of people left her house, Ye Xing began to pack away the bowls, kettles, and a pile of melon seed peels.

After a while, Lu Beichen came back with his two children, along with Lu Xiaoliang and Lu Xiuhe.

Lu Xiaoliang said as soon as he entered the door.

"Second Aunt, I had a great time with National Day. You asked me to make egg custard for me."

Ye Xing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do it for you right away."

When she came back with Lu Beichen, she bought eggs and took some to her mother-in-law. She happened to still have six or seven at home.

There were many children, so Ye Xing steamed them all.

Lu Xiuhe and Lu Xiaoliang were satisfied after eating. Lu Xiaoliang licked his bowl again, put down the bowl and said to Ye Xing.

"The egg custard made by my second aunt is so delicious. My mother even scolded you just now."

Ye Xing raised his eyebrows.

"What did your mother scold me for?"

Lu Xiuhe pulled him, and Lu Xiaoliang looked at her puzzled.

Ye Xing chuckled, "Xiao Liang, what did your mother scold me for?"

Lu Xiaoliang scratched his head.

"It means that you are lazy and don't want to do any work, so you just wait for her to go back to work. There are a lot of relatives in the house, I heard them say that."

Ye Xing touched his head.

"Xiao Liang, you are a good boy. My second aunt will give you steamed egg custard when she comes back."

Lu Xiaoliang opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Really? Second Aunt, when will you come back? My parents said you were embarrassed by going to the county. What did you do? Why are you embarrassed?"
